I have been following these authors for at least a year. I finally broke down and listened to City Girl earlier this month. I struggled with that one, but it was okay.

This one in the first 2 chapters started out okay and just bombed from there. I am all about reading romance / erotica, but I need a coherent story line. Between the sex scenes every other paragraph and the I am a brave woman one sec, and oh shite what did I get myself into the next, I just couldn't do it. I did drop off with only an hour to go, maybe I will stick it out to see what happens. I am so, so disappointed in the writing of these books. I hope the rest of the misadventures get better...I literally own all of the paperbacks.

Losing your ability to speak at the age of 17; it's not normal or fair. But trauma has a way of throwing normality out the window. Dani lives anything but a normal life: her sister is married to one of the biggest names in Hollywood, her best friends are rock stars, and she has more love around her than most people experience in a lifetime. But that doesn't change the fact their parents are dead, or that it's her fault. It seems her new normal is being a mute, living on the inside, unable to actually communicate on the outside.

I loved it. Can't wait to read Zanes story and the rest of RVD's books. I do think the Brittany could have narrated this one on her own. She had a better Lincoln Voice. I liked Peter's voice, just not for that character.

After years of living under her father's thumb, Emmeline is ready to break free. She's abandoned her life as a New York socialite to follow her dream of becoming a kindergarten teacher in a small, wholesome town. Seeing the man that nearly broke her was absolutely not what she had hoped to find in Prescott, Montana. Nick hasn't seen his Emmy in nine years, but that doesn't mean he's forgotten a thing about the woman he loves. After just one blissful night as man and wife, he gave her up, sacrificing his own happiness to keep her safe.

Way better

This one is written better than the last one. Still has a little more flare of drama, but not so much that I would turn away from the book.

Strange the Dreamer and the Muse of Nightmares are most definitely on my top reads! Gut wrenching loss and tales that seen unfathomable, this book has it all. I truly hope there are more books to this series or at least spin offs, I love all of the characters!

I was not sure what to expect. The storyline was okay. I was disappointed in the narration for duel narration. I like it when he speaks all his parts and she all hers. This was not the case and their inflection of the other voice was so far off it was almost irritating. It was okay, I hope the others get better.

Willa Knight: Dweller? Bad-ass? Notorious pet to five magical beings? In Blesswood, there are rules, and someone is trying to teach her how to follow them. The only problem is Willa. Which shouldn’t be anything new, since she has been a problem since birth — something her pseudo-sister Emmy would agree on. So it definitely shouldn’t be new, but it is. Because things are starting to happen that have never happened before. Things are starting to get chaotic.

great book

I think the abcurse brothers changed their voices from the 1st book. A little disheartening but still good.

BRIAR - I was infatuated with Asher Kelley the moment he came tumbling through my brother’s window five years ago. Even bruised and bloodied, he was the most beautiful boy I'd ever seen. We couldn't ever be together. I was too young, and he was too untouchable. He was too troubled, and I was too naive. ASHER - I was drawn to Briar Vale from the first time she looked up at me with stars in her blue eyes. We could never be together. I was too old and she was too off limits....

I think the thing that I struggle with is the fact that she is 17. I am. it a prude and I get it, but for me it made me cringe a bit. Loved the story, loved the characters, will be reading the next book.
